The fourth game was much more straightforward with continues as you could replay levels to stack up on power ups and buddies. The fifth game just seems a big grind because of a lot of alternate exits, and the first boss was pretty frustrating too.

Although it started off easy, it was difficult from World 4 onwards and too difficult for me to beat World 6 with just continues. I resorted to making a save state after I got the brown line bomb Louie and then saving at the start of each level with the Louie intact. And it still took quite a number of tries to beat the boss! Apparently 4 & 5 are like this too!

Super Bomberman 2 took me much longer to beat with continues than the first game. I was learning how to beat the final boss by playing it repeatedly for about five hours!

The third game luckily seems fairly straightforward, so far at least.

I got Super Bomberman Collection for the Switch 2 yesterday. So far I’ve just beaten Super Bomberman (with continues).

There are 6 more games to beat: Super Bomberman 2, 3, 4, 5 and Bomberman and Bomberman 2 (NES).
